To round out the missing reports, here are the ones for April:
Our first April meeting, April 2, had three attendees; myself, Robert and Jessie, who all settled down to watch the tape of our usual eps, featuring Naruto #48, Full Metal Alchemist #32, Hikaru no Go #57, Damekko Doubutsu #10, Bleach #21, and Galaxy Angel III #41-42, along with a brief and haunting Miyizaki-esque short.

Our next meeting would have fallen on Easter Sunday, so it was pushed back a week to April 23, which coincided with Starfest, the sci-fi con in Denver. Since Mark is one of the con’s organizers, we put the other tape he made to good use and enjoyed Naruto #49, Full Metal Alchemist #33, Hikaru no Go #58, Damekko Doubutsu #11, Bleach #22, and Galaxy Angel III #43-44. Attendance picked up again with about 6 people.

Thus concludes our lapse in meeting reports; keep an eye out for announcements about new activities and shows through the spring and summer!!!

March had its highs and lows for the club. Our first meeting in March, Mar.5, was one of our “and now for something completely different ” meetings. Mark has been involved in an ongoing research project and was unable to attend; thus we eschewed our usual schedule and spent the day talking, drawing, trading cosplay tips and listening to music. This was one of our best-attended meetings in a while with at least 8 or 9 people (Yay!)
Our March 19 meeting(or lack of meeting) was exactly the opposite; coming armed with tapes of the eps courtesy of Mark, I waited for close to a half-hour with only one member(Robert) appearing. Eventually I decided to cancel the meeting and save the eps for future viewing with a larger audience. Reports of an impending snowstorm and Spring Break may have been factors for the lack of attendance.

Hi all!!! (yes, we’re still here!!!) Been a while since either Mark or myself have posted meeting reports, so it’s high time that’s taken care of. Our meeting Feb. 5 was initially up in the air due to the Super Bowl, but we ended up holding it anyway. Attendance was fairly good with about 7 members (shows we’re not exactly football fans, doesn’t it? or maybe just since the Broncos weren’t playing…) and we enjoyed our usual fare of Naruto #47, Fullmetal Alchemist #31, Hikaru no Go #56, Damekko Doubutsu #9, Bleach #20, and Galaxy Angel III #39-40.

Our other February meeting, on the 19th was extremely quiet. With only Mark and myself initially, we chose to watch a random selection of shows, starting with the first episode of a new series called Mushishi; different but intriguing. Afterward being in the mood for a little Hikago and Bleach action, we watched Hikaru no Go #57 and Bleach #21, along with an interesting little parody of the AMV-making process featuring footage from Cowboy Bebop and music by Perry Como and the Squirrel Nut Zippers(!?!) We adjourned early, unfortunately just before a couple of members appeared…Sorry, folks.
(Never fear, the Bleach and Hikago eps were repeated on April 2, and the CB amv on Apr. 23.)
